I’m addicted to the feeling of dancing and enjoy revealing all the alter egos that shaped my imaginary shows in my childhood bedroom.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop Social dances are my home bases, with a touch of grace and spirituality that comes with liturgical dance; that's how I started dancing. Disney's Cheetah Girls is what started my habit of learning dances from movies and music videos. As a teenager, I found a dancer named Jade Chynoweth then choreographers Jojo Gomez and Aliya Janell. Today, K-pop has caught my eye! The choreography is so creative, like Aespa's Armageddon, yet, it's still inspired by my home base, hip-hop.

How would being in Ciara's music video impact your life?

I've had this fire lit in me for a long time now, and to be a part of something that I feel has that same fire when it comes to making art, would only fuel this fire in the best way possible. It would prove that I can handle any challenge and that mother was right: "everyone should do just what they love".

What would you do with the $20,000?

Honestly, I'd probably just let it sit there for a while before I actually knew what I wanted to do with it. The go-to's that pop up in my head are to invest in my performance career, EMERGENCY FUND, set my self up for great credit, and treat my family to a spa day or something fun that we don't normally do. :-)
